I have been using this product for three years, and yes I am pleased with it. The wax does not need to be heated but when the wax hardens (and it will) the best way to soften it is to place the container in a bowl of water and stick it in the microwave for 30 seconds; make sure the foil is completely removed and the container cannot be fully submerged in water, otherwise water will sneak in and that will make the wax completely useless. After 30 seconds have passed stir the wax to check the firmness, repeat if needed; I go for an 'Elmer's Glue' consistency, but the wax must never be steaming or feel hot when applying to skin.
Other than that, follow the instructions provided with the wax and strips on how to apply and remove the wax successfully. I would only add that it helps to have two small hand towels with you during the whole process: one that is warm and damp for removing wax that may get on your hands and fingers when applying the wax, and one dry towel so as to make sure...Read more

My favorite hair remover,

I know everybody is different, but this product really is my preference when it comes to hair removal. And I've tried just about everything available apart from laser surgery and radio frequency hair removal. I even purchased the finest epilator money could buy only to find out that I'm just not hard core enough to use one of those puppies! It just takes wayyyyy too long to get all the hair off of one leg. The first time I tried epilating, I was taking deep breaths and trying to watch a movie to distract myself from the agony. The only reason I finished both legs was because I didn't want to be a pussy and throw in the towel. Depilatory creams always smell like death to me no matter how hard they try to cover up the chemicals with perfume. At the suggestion of a friend, I tried Veet on my naughty bits once and ended up with a chemical burn. It made for a hilarious story, but I'm not brave enough to try any more creams. (I never liked any of them for my legs anyhow) I've also...Read more

Worked great for me,

This review is from: Nad's No-Heat Hair Removal Gel, 6 oz (170 g) (Health and Beauty)
I used this yesterday to remove the hair on my face -- it's fine hair, but there's a lot of it. I waxed upper lip, "sideburns," and under my chin. I am extremely pleased with the results. The gel was a little messy but it rinses right off so not really a problem. It removed the great majority of the hair. I experienced mild discomfort, but it was much more comfortable than either having someone else wax me or having electrolysis, both of which I've tried in the past.
I have a little irritation today, which is typical for me after waxing, but overall I really prefer the Nad's gel to other waxes. I noted that other reviewers didn't have similarly good experiences, and I wonder if Nad's is perhaps more effective (and less painful) on finer facial hair than on coarser body hair? Just a thought. Anyway, I'm really happy to not have a moustache today :) and would recommend Nad's for other ladies with facial hair.
